by Senator Stamford and Chansey Andrews

ly before II o'clock the representatives OF
the administration entered. The president
was not with them, but Mr.. Bayard took the
post OF honor as he now is the
next in lawful succession to the
presidency for the remnant OF Mr..
Clevcland's term. He was dressed in
plain black, wore black gloves and looked
sedate and grave. Next to him sat Secre.
tary Endicott, wearing a prince Albert
business coat, gray-mixed trousers and,
strange to say, red gloves. Next sat Sec
retary Whitney gloveless, whose face,
strangely enough was wreathed in smiles,
and Attorney General Garland, a man
whose face was the most self-satisfied in all
the chamber, also gloveless.
THEN THE FAMILY ENTERED
from the door which leads from the vice
presidents room. which had been assigned
to them. Mrs. Logan was dressed in the
heaviest black, her features wholly covered
by thick mourning, resting heavily
upon the arm of her son, greatly affect
ed. Following her came James V. Logan,
the generals youngest brother, who
needed no introduction to the audi
ence, so much does he resemble
the dead hero. Mrs. Logan took a seat in
front of the vice presidents desk, and
Manning Logan and James Logan sitting
on either side of her. Next sat Mrs.
Tucker, also in deepest mourning. Be-
side her was her husband, Maj. Tucker
and next in deep black. but unveiled,
was Miss Andrews, the fiancee OF Man.
ming Logan, and beside her, and
resting awestruck upon her the
little grandson, Logan Tucker. From the
outset Mrs. Logan was deeply affected, al
though evidently under the greatest self
control, but when the eloquent passages
of Parson-N Newman 8 sermon were delivered
in which the qualities OF the dead were
so graphically eulogized, she could scarce
restrain her emotion. At one minute past
II O'Clock the venerable doorkeeper,
Bassett, and Deputy Sergeant at Arms
Christie appeared at the southern door,
beneath the clock from which depended two
long mourning draperies, to announce the
funeral cortege which was arriving from
the rotunda. The procession entered,
headed by the four clergymen-Parson
Newman Bishop Andrews, Revs. Butler
and Tiffany; Rev. Newman reading as the
cortege advanced the funeral service OF the
Methodist church, II know that my re.

Senator Stanford, Postmaster General
Villas, Gen. Lucius Fairchild, Mr.. c. II. An

They wore sashes ofblack, with shoulder
knots OF black and white ribbons. They
formed into two lines as they came within
the bar, between which passed the pail
bearers OF the Grand Army men bearing the
casket. The congressional committee wore
wide sashes of white. The honorary pail
bearers and the committee were conducted
to seats on the left center. Senator Sher-
man and Speaker Carlisle occupied chairs
at the presidents desk and the clergy were
at the desk of the secretaries. The solemn
services were begun by the reading OF the
Ninetieth Psalm by BishopAndrews. Prayer
was offered by DR.. Tiffany. During the
prayer the silence OF the great assemblage
was most impressive, broken us it was on
ly by the uncomfortable sobs of the wild
ow, who leaned as if for support toward
her son in whose firm clasp her hand re-
manned throughout the ceremony. Some
selections from the funeral service OF the
Episcopal church EXTRACTS from !. Corin-
thians) were read by Rev. DR.. Butler.
Then the funeral Grafton was delivered
by Rev. Newman.
The proceedings were closed with the
benediction and then the presiding officer,
Senator Sherman, directed that the funeral

the signal for the withdrawal OF Mrs. Logan
and the sorrowful members OF her family,
who rose and left the chamber by one oi
the northern doors. The members Of the
Loyal Legion also withdrew. The coffin
was then borne out, attended by the chief
mourners. The supreme court judges next
passed out and then the senators and rep.
resentatives, and in few minutes the SEN
